The Teaser League

Four teased picks.
Every week.

A season-long NFL pick league among people who know each other. Every pick moves 14 points in your favor, all 4 legs have to cover, and winners take points off losers — points only, no money.

Members

The Teaser League is invitation-only, and free. A commissioner invites you by email; there is no public sign-up, nothing to pay, and no password — you sign in with a six-digit code sent to your address.

Holding an invitation link? Open it and it will bring you straight in. Already a member? Sign in with the address your commissioner invited.

What a week looks like

One league-wide spread per game is published Wednesday at 7:00 AM ET and does not move again. You pick 4 teams before Sunday 1:00 PM ET. Every pick gets 14 points in its favor, all 4 have to cover, and the week settles zero-sum: every loser pays every winner the league’s juice, in points.

Walk through a week step by step

The teaser is the whole trick

14 points move onto every pick in the direction of the team you took, which makes each individual leg much easier — and is why all 4 of them have to come in. A team can lose the game and still win you the leg:

Favorite selected
Win
−3.0 → +11.0 teased
Your team loses 20–27 · cover value −7 + 11 = 4
Favorite selected
Push
−7.0 → +7.0 teased
Your team loses 17–24 · cover value −7 + 7 = 0
A push counts as a loss.

Common questions

Joining

What does it cost?

Nothing. There is no entry fee, no dues and no payout. It is scored entirely in points, and the app has no way to take a payment — there is nowhere to enter a card, and no balance to withdraw.

How do I join?

By invitation. A commissioner adds your email address or sends you an invitation link; opening that link and confirming your address is the whole process.

There is no public sign-up, so if you have not been invited yet, the person running the league is the one to ask.

Can I start my own league here?

Not from this page. Creating a league is limited to platform administrators and to existing commissioners, so there is no self-service button here to press.

If you want a league of your own, ask your commissioner or whoever runs the league you were invited to.

Do I need a password?

No. You enter your email address and a six-digit code arrives; that code signs you in. It works the same way every time, so there is nothing to remember and nothing to reset.

Is there an app to install?

No — it runs in the browser on any device, and it is built for a phone first. Add it to your home screen if you want it to feel like an app.

What if I join partway through the season?

You start in the first week you can still pick in, and weeks played before you joined do not count for or against you.

Your invitation says which week that is, and whether it is a practice week or a scored one.

These are the standard settings. A commissioner sets their own league’s juice, and a league’s real numbers are shown on its invitation and inside the app.

Already invited? Everything above is waiting behind one email address.
